SCE SCAS BB - 3.1.1

Service Control Application for Broadband

Problem Description

An issue was found recently that relates to the upgrade from SCA-BB version 3.0.6 or 3.1.0 installed with Protocol-Pack 10 (PP10) to SCA-BB version 3.1.1.

Specifically this refers to the following defect which was found during internal testing:

CSCsl08938 - Error message during 3.0.6PP10 or 3.1.0PP10 PQB application upon version 3.1.1 and further.

During an upgrade to SCA-BB version 3.1.1, when opening a saved PQB generated by SCA-BB 3.0.6 or 3.1.0 version installed with Protocol-Pack 10 with the console of SCA-BB 3.1.1, an error message will pop up. The error message will indicate that a protocol violation has occurred and the error must be resolved.

Background

During the development of SCA-BB 3.1.1, a change was made in the default PQB. The change consists of removing the "ICQ Voice" protocol, which was introduced as part of PP10, and moving the corresponding "ICQ Voice" signature under the "ICQ VoIP" protocol. This change in default configuration contradicts the PQB of SCA-BB versions 3.0.6 and 3.1.0 which are installed with PP10.

Problem Symptoms

During an upgrade to SCA-BB 3.1.1, the PQB taken from 3.0.6 or 3.1.1 installed with Protocol-Pack 10 will create a conflict with the default PQB of 3.1.1.

SCA-BB 3.1.1 will indicate this by issuing an error message claiming that a protocol violation has occurred and the error must be resolved.

Workaround/Solution

Solution

To resolve the error the following should be done:

On the Service configuration editor, go to 'Configuration' -> 'Protocols' then search and delete the 'ICQ Voice' protocol from the protocol list. Note that there are 3 ICQ based protocols defined in the protocol list - ICQ, ICQ VoIP and ICQ Voice. Only the last one should be deleted.

As soon as the 'ICQ Voice' protocol is removed, the message appearance will stop.

Then you can safely apply the fixed policy to the 3.1.1 SCE.

The next time you will retrieve the policy from the SCE, go to 'Configuration' -> 'Protocols' and make sure that the ICQ VoIP protocol now has both ICQ VoIP and ICQ Voice signatures - previously it had only the ICQ VoIP.

Workaround

The aforementioned solution should be used.

Another method that can be used is to upgrade to Protocol-Pack 11 for 3.0.6 or 3.1.0 versions prior to the upgrade to the SCA-BB 3.1.1 release.
